NFT Shopping AMAChella AMA Transcript

“The transcript of our AMA with these BSC marketplaces, check out what they had to say here.”

Tom

Welcome to AMAChella! Let me begin by introducing our first project, AirNFTs. Nyjah, CEO of the project will be speaking this evening and describes AirNFTs as an NFT marketplace where you can mint, trade and earn with NFTs within the BSC and Polygon ecosystems.

Nyjah

Hi everyone thanks for inviting me here!! 👋

Tom

The next project is one for the gamers out there, NFTb. Speaking on behalf of the project is @alper1829 who is the Head of Gaming at NFTb and is responsible for the upcoming NFTb Gaming Marketplace and strategy. Alper states “NFTb offers a premium multi-chain NFT marketplace where users can access buyers globally. The platform also offers DeFi features giving users access to yield farming opportunities and also a launchpad created to help creators and projects to build early support.”

Alper

Hey everyone! Amazing to be here, looking forward to it😊

Tom

Next up…YooShi! From Yooshi we have @Vincent_YooShi who is a Community Volunteer, YooShi being a community-driven project. YooShi NFT Marketplace has both trading and auction functions which are both unique and interesting. All auction participants can earn commission by participating in bidding meaning no one will leave a YooShi auction empty-handed.

YooShi Vincent

Hey guys, It is my honor to be here, hope all of you have a nice day!

Tom

Finally we have @maximblue101, one of the founders of Altrua NFT. Altura is a platform for minting, trading, and integrating NFTs. Its primary focus is on in-game items and ensuring that gamers have the opportunity to actually own their items in a decentralized manner. They claim to be the first to introduce Smart NFTs and loot boxes to the NFT world!

Maxim Sindall

Hey everyone, happy to be here!

Tom

On to the questions! After you have finished answering, please just type ‘done’ so I can know to move on to the next project.

We will stick to the same order as I introduced you in.

1. First question for AirNFTs to start to show…can you explain what makes your platform unique and appealing to users in the NFT space?

Nyjah

We are open to everyone, so everyone can start minting without verifications and we have NFT launchpad where we connect GameFi and NFT projects to BSC and Polygon connections for their further grow. 

Basically we offer all help to projects and artists what we struggled with in the beginning of our project ourselves.

Tom

Great, thank you!

NFTb, can you also explain what makes your platform unique and appealing to users in the NFT space?

Alper

Sure!

NFTB has a unique place in the market that has helped us build strong support from our backers and supporters:

– Curated NFT marketplace to empower owners to take their NFT portfolios between metaverses. (We have been an attractive partner for metaverse projects that are seeking to integrate high quality digital assets into their metaverse, without scaring away advertising dollars )

– A complete user friendly platform to launch your project (Launchpad, DeFi platform and Marketplace [DEX Coming soon])

– A community focussed platform segmented by niches. i.e: NFTb Gaming, NFTb and NFTb Music have their own experiences. We believe that the pursuit for crazy valuations by OpenSea and others is causing a conflict in user experience!

Tom

Yooshi, go for it!

YooShi Vincent

Sure

As an incubation platform, YooShi has built a self-sustaining ecosystem, and NFT is an important part of it.

At present, YooShi NFT has two main functions, NFT Mining and IGOs participating in YooShi’s incubation projects. Compared with NFT Mining, the IGO of new projects are more attractive, so it is necessary to select high-quality projects.

With the improvement of project quality and the increase of income from participating in IGO, the energy endowed by YooShi NFT will increase accordingly. Therefore, YooShi will focus on incubating high-quality projects in the future.

YooShi has not launched a new project due to the market environment. YooShi will launch the third incubation project in good time and will help the project to test and measure the pressure and improve the project before it is launched.

Tom

Thank you, Sir

Altura, you are up 🙂

Maxim Sindall

Let’s do it! (:

Altura is a platform for minting, trading, and integrating smart NFTs into video games and applications. 

Our two products we focus on are smart NFTs and NFT loot boxes. NFTs right now are static and unable to change with in-game or real-world events and we want to change that with smart NFTs. 

Our NFT loot boxes can be used to give random NFTs from a collection created. You use a key or other utility NFT to open the loot box and receive your NFT. We also have a big community of about 70k holders that we have grown in the last year.

Maxim Sindall, [25/01/2022 19:14]

2. Great, thank you for all the in-depth answers. The next question is an interesting one and AirNFTs you are up first!

There have recently been some high-profile NFT projects that have unfortunately scammed their user base primarily through exit-scams or ‘rugs’. What measures do you have in place to give users peace of mind from a security perspective when purchasing through your platform.

Nyjah 

We have pretty strict verification process for verified users, where we do require multiple parameters before we verify these users, but still this is the hardest part on getting right people in, because once they are verified they can abuse that power, but our team acts quickly on this form  to curate these people. 

Huge thanks goes to our Air Ambassadors who help to flag bad actors and build Airnfts where it is now.

Alper

I guess my turn 🙂

Tom

Correct! Go for it!

Alper

Weeell, our smart contracts are audited and monitored by the top organizations in the industry which we support by having our community involved through various programs like our bounty program. Let me drop some links here for those who are interested

Hacken

CertiK

Bounty Program

In addition, we are implementing a few mechanisms to protect our NFTs’ integrity and originality which are soon to be announced😉

Tom

Mic drop! Thank you! Yooshi, your turn.

YooShi Vincent

First of all, YooShi passed the contract security audit:  

In addition, YooShi has cooperated with Binance many times, including the Smile Angel Challenge and previous NFT market auctions. 

Binance NFT audits NFT whenever it conducts an auction, YooShi code is transparent, and YooShi has built trust with its community members. 

Community members who hold YooShi NFTs have already gained huge profits in DNAxCAT and StarMon, which are incubated by YooShi, and YooShi has been improving the user experience.

Tom

Thank you, Sir! Altura, what measures do you have in place to give users peace of mind from a security perspective when purchasing through your platform?

Maxim Sindall

So as we are a gaming focused marketplace, we always make sure our gaming partners, launching on our marketplace, have at least a working game or a detailed roadmap for a game. 

We additionally evaluate their community response and engagement to look for anything that may be a red flag. We look at how active the team is within their community and on social media. We also look at the sustainability of the rewards systems/tokenomics. 

Altura does as much as possible to make sure the projects we put in front of our own community are solid and are working towards something unique or community driven. Scammers are getting more creative, so we make sure to do our due diligence and be smart 

Tom

Thank you!

3. Next question we may have to look into the crystal ball…how do you think the NFT space is going to change over the coming years and what plans do you have to keep up with this? You are up, AirNFTs!

Nyjah 

I personally think metaverse will be a thing in 2022 and it’s important for everyone to keep an eye on it, our plans to keep up is to have no strict plans with deadlines, so we can quickly adapt to the market, because lets be honest nobody has crystal ball and you will never know what will be another thing in 2022, only plan we have is to stick to crypto and nft adoption and make all things that support this cause. 

But to learn more about our vision you can have a look into this article:

Passing a word to the NFTb

Alper

At NFTb, we believe that we are early in terms of the adoption of NFT technology. In the coming years we expect NFTs to be adopted by more people and platforms need to evolve to ensure that their products are easily accessible.

We will continue innovating with solutions listening to people’s demands and needs with the focus of becoming a one stop solution for everyone to easily access. We started with our user-friendly curated NFT marketplace, Launchpad and Defi platform expanding into different niche segments like Gaming and Music NFT marketplaces and so. In addition, a DEX might be coming soon 😉

Tom

Great! YooShi…shoot!

YooShi Vincent

the gun is too hot

NFT is an important part of the future crypto market. NFT can not only appear in a separate form, but also can be deeply combined with other fields, such as games, art, sports, etc. This is an irresistible trend, especially in the recent stage. In spite of the stagnant market, the NFT market is still hot, showing the potential of the NFT market.

One of the keys to the promotion of YooShi NFT is the empowerment of YooShi NFT. At present, YooShi NFT has two main functions, NFT Mining and IGOs participating in YooShi’s incubation projects. 

Compared with NFT Mining, the IGO of new projects are more attractive, so it is necessary to select high-quality projects. With the improvement of project quality and the increase of income from participating in IGO, the energy endowed by YooShi NFT will increase accordingly.

Therefore, YooShi will focus on incubating high-quality projects in the future. YooShi has not launched a new project due to the market environment. YooShi will launch the third incubation project in good time and will help the project to test and measure the pressure and improve the project before it is launched.

YooShi will also carry out more cooperation with Binance in the future. In terms of NFT, it will not only be limited to YooShi itself, but will also include high-quality projects incubated under the YooShi ecology to help these projects connect with Binance NFT, build ecological cooperation, and expand the scope and the form of cooperation.

Tom

Thanks, YooShi! Altura, please bless our eyes with your words of wisdom.

Maxim Sindall

I will proceed to bless the crowd!

We believe NFTs will eventually flip to become far more than a picture which might represent an in-game item. They will soon be described as “digital assets” and have many use cases. 

Some of these use cases could include tracking real world events with smart NFTs, facilitating the transfer of real-world items via the metaverse, and many other examples can apply!

We are providing the tools and infrastructure for this when the time comes. In addition to what we have built, we are always adding more to our infrastructure to fit our partners needs. Addressing the needs of our partners now, further prepares us for this kind of future.

Alper

*feeling very well blessed*

Tom

Magical, thank you!

4. On to the next question with AirNFTs up first.

Many news outlets and platforms are calling NFTs a ‘bubble’. What are your thoughts on this?

Nyjah

Reminds me when people said, crypto and bitcoin is a bubble and here we go, 😑 people are generally not good at predicting things. 

There is definitely a lot of bad projects that will die and some of them will survive, but as you can see big brands like Adidas, Nike, Facebook is getting inside NFTs industry and I believe there is more to come.🔥

Tom

Thanks! NFTb you are live!

Alper

I completely agree with Nyjah

Maxim Sindall

This is just the beginning for sure!

Alper

I personally do not agree with it being a bubble. The adoption of NFTs keeps expanding and positively disrupting the key industries. We are already witnessing the communal benefits of NFTs in the digital art and gaming industry extremely clearly for creators and users. I truly believe there are certain other industries which will start adopting NFTs on a large scale also. As a result, I would say we are still in the beginning 🙂

Tom

Thank you, I also agree with your sentiment, @maximblue101 you are up

Maxim Sindall

Sounds good (:

There are some NFTs out there that have demanded some incredible prices. We believe everything goes up and down so its very possible NFTs could see a decline in demand. 

However, we have noticed that the NFT projects that are most engaged with their communities are typically the ones that endure the markets highs and lows. NFTs aren’t going anywhere and neither is crypto gaming. Nobody knows what will happen in the markets but it’s a fact that crypto is indeed volatile!

Tom

Thank you @maximblue101! @yooshi_vincent, apologies for mixing the order up! The floor is yours 🙂

YooShi Vincent

Bubble is a relative concept. When you bestow value on NFT or the value of NFT is generally recognized, it is no longer a bubble. Corresponding to the previous question, NFT is an irresistible part of future development, but it need continuous exploration in the process of development, where there will be many bubbles, which is inevitable and is bound to appear in the development process of anything.

YooShi Vincent, [25/01/2022 19:39]

What I want to say is that we have to look at the problem with a calm attitude and active exploration. But for NFTs, we need to do some identification by ourselves. 

First of all, you need to know why you want NFT, whether you recognize the value conveyed by the NFT or the culture represented by the NFT, or do you think the NFT has enough empowerment, these are the questions we need to think about when exploring NFT. 

For YooShi NFT, YooShi endows it with public value and income value. Angels in YooShi NFT conduct auctions and all the proceeds are used for disease treatment. In addition, NFT Mining and IGO can be operated on YooShi NFT, giving YooShi NFT a unique value from the combination of its value and income.

Tom

Thank you Mr Speaker

5. Next question starting with AirNFTs. 

A common complaint, particularly during high-profile releases, is the use of bots to mint NFTs leaving the average user with nothing. Do you have any measures to counteract this or do you think this is acceptable in the free market?

YooShi Vincent

Thank you a big time

Nyjah

We try to add few more measures like min requirements, social checks for the minting that makes it harder for the dev bots to tackle this, but eventually there is no way to stop these bots but you can make the life harder for them.

Tom

Thank you, NFTb…go!

Alper

Well, we have a bot-free launchpad where we support high-profile releases in their go-to-market. Basically, how we operate is through staking $NFTB on our Launchpad so that our users are offered a fair system with some additional benefits for their contributions. Always trying our best for our community

Tom

Your turn, Yooshi!

YooShi Vincent

Copy that Sir

This is a deceit, especially in the hot market where users are not calm. Some scammers make use of users’ psychology to defraud, we hope that users can calm down and not be influenced by market sentiment. The value of NFT lies in users’ own cognition instead of the publicity of the project, users should carefully study the value of NFT and the corresponding information of the project.

YooShi incubated some projects that have been officially released and have been optimized constantly. Taking this as a reference, if a project stops at the early stage without any results and clear plan for the future roadmap, then users need to be vigilant.

Tom

Interesting…thank you! Last but certainly not least, Altura!

Maxim Sindall

Amazing ((:

Maxim Sindall, [25/01/2022 19:50]

We think the free market is important to protect but we have always made sure our community can participate in our events. 

We do not currently have any measures, or at the same time had any issues with community participation. This however will be considered if our community has difficulty accessing a drop. So far, we have had very few issues.

Tom

Thank you!

We are coming to the end of our group-questions and I will move on to the project specific ones after this.

6. Is there anything I haven’t mentioned that you would like to explain to the community or is there any exciting news you can release today? AirNFTs!

Nyjah 

We just lately launched our platform on Polygon, so users can now mint NFTs on polygon aswell and earn Matic. Good thing on this is all NFTs minted on AIRNFTs appear on opensea automagically, so artists get double exposure by minting on our market. ✌️

More can be found on

Tom

Amazing! Thank you! Your turn, NFTb!

Alper

Thanks for the opportunity of sharing. I would love to share some of our latest news. We have recently partnered with Polygon studios focusing on boosting the GameFi Industry together. Apart from that, the biggest news was the latest update on NFTb Gaming Marketplace progress. I would suggest everyone to have a look at 🙂 Links below for the curious ones

Polygon Studios collab –

NFTb Gaming launch – 

Tom

Perfect, thank you

@yooshi_vincent Sir, you are up

YooShi Vincent

The current YooShi NFT market includes YooShi Family, Crypto DNAxCAT, StarMon Badge, DNAxCAT Crystal and YooShi Friends.  The current Total Turnover: $132M, Total Transaction Times: 175K+

YooShi has now been upgraded to version 3.0, and there will be a longer way to go in the future. Hope everyone can follow us and witness the growth of YooShi!

find your way:

Tom

Thanks, YooShi! Altura, the floor is yours!

Maxim Sindall

We just announced our grant program for new gaming partners who use our technology called Altura Supercharge! We will be announcing a lot of new partnerships in the coming weeks, and be on the lookout for exciting community events! 

Check it out here: 

Tom

Thank you to all projects! I will now ask each of you a question specific to your project…here we go!

7. AirNFTs: What role do you play in promoting artists and creators who release NFTs on your platform?

Nyjah 

So for this we help users and projects to open doors to our partners connections within BSC and Polygon ecosystem and since we plan to be multichain we are going to have more opportunities for the users. 

We also help retweet and post users work on our socials and instagram including that has over 70k followers to boost their exposure. 

We used to promote best artists on our blog aswell.

8. NFTb Can you tell us about any partnerships you currently have?

Alper

Sureee.. Would love to mention only a few of our unique partnerships so that you can have an idea 🙂

We are actually the only art focussed NFT marketplace to integrate with Binance NFT

We have an exclusive partnership with Coin Market Cap to supply Digital Art NFTs for their Diamond Rewards Program

As another one, already mentioned but Polygon studios partnership is definitely a key one

All in all, we are committed to grow and support the ecosystem which I would say reflects in our choice of partnerships – done 💪

Tom

Wow! Impressive stuff, thank you!

9. YooShi 🐸Why should up and coming NFT game releases choose you as their launchpad platform?

YooShi Vincent

YooShi NFT’s current achievements mainly consist in its high-quality incubation projects, its own products and strong community support.

YooShi’s solid community foundation

At present, YooShi has 223K+ Twitter followers and 94K+ official channel followers. The huge number of users is one of the huge attractions to the project. Besides participating in IGO, YooShi community members are interested in the project and participate in the project ecology. It is possible that the project can accumulate a certain amount of users in the early stage of establishment.

The success of YooShi’s projects

YooShi currently has incubated two projects, DNAxCAT and StarMon, both of which have achieved excellent results. 

In the IGO stage, that is, in the early stage of the project, a certain amount of funds was accumulated through the first sale of in-game assets, and then YooShi helped them to make plans and provided technical support to help the project achieve greater development.

Tom

Thanks YooShi!

10. AlturaNFT Can you talk us through your concept of Smart NFTs and how your platform is ‘built by developers, for developers’

Maxim Sindall

Sure, would be happy to talk about it (:

Our approach to our infrastructure and implementing smart NFTs is to make it as easy as possible to adopt the tech. 

We want game developers to focus on creating the best game possible and without the worry about the technical side of smart NFTs. Smart NFTs may seem complicated, but we make it super easy to integrate so developers can focus on creating their game.  

In addition, we are always improving our infrastructure to accommodate the needs of our partners and their developers.

Tom

Thank you!

Tom

Thank you to each and every one of you, that concludes our questions.
